What happened to Michael Savage accident?
Michael Savage is a well-known conservative radio host and author who has been on the air for decades. He is also the son of James Jackson Savage, who died in a car crash in 2011.
The accident occurred on December 22, 2011, when Michael Savage was driving his 2009 Maserati Quattroporte on Ponus Ridge Road in New Canaan, Connecticut. He lost control of the vehicle and veered into the opposite lane, hitting a mailbox and a tree before coming to rest on a stone wall. His father, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was pronounced dead at the scene. Michael Savage suffered a hand injury and left the scene on foot. He called 911 before he fled, but the call went to Stamford first and the cellphone reception was poor.
Michael Savage was arrested almost a year later, on December 15, 2012, and charged with misconduct with a motor vehicle, a felony that carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. However, he pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of negligent homicide with a motor vehicle, a misdemeanor that carries a maximum sentence of six months in prison. He was sentenced to two years of probation and suspended jail time by State Superior Court Judge William Wenzel in Norwalk on April 11, 2014.
Michael Savage has not publicly commented on the accident or his father’s death. He has continued his radio show, The Savage Nation, which is syndicated by Cumulus Media and Westwood One. He is also an author of several political books that have reached The New York Times Best Seller list. He is known for his controversial views on immigration, Islam, liberalism, and other topics. He was banned from entering the United Kingdom in 2009 by British Home Secretary for “seeking to provoke others to serious criminal acts and fostering hatred” .
Some conspiracy theorists have speculated that the accident was not an accident at all, but an assassination or execution orchestrated by the Obama administration or other enemies of Michael Savage. They have cited the suspicious circumstances of the crash, such as the high speed of the car, the lack of skid marks or brake lights, the delay in reporting the incident, and the involvement of SEAL Team 6 members who were killed in a helicopter shootdown in Afghanistan in August 2011. However, there is no evidence to support these claims and they have been dismissed by law enforcement officials and mainstream media outlets.
